The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to Contract No. CW88823 with Mansfield Oil Company of Gainesville, Inc. This contract pertains to the provision of various types of fuel across multiple storage sites in the District. The proposed modifications (Nos. 4, 5, and 6) are necessary to fully exercise the third option year of the contract and authorize payment for goods and services already received and to be received, with a total increase in the contract value exceeding $1 million.

The urgency of this resolution is underscored by the need to ensure the continuation of essential fuel services provided by Mansfield Oil Company. The modifications include a partial option executed in November 2024, which was later extended and increased to a total not-to-exceed amount of $4.3 million. The resolution emphasizes that without the Council's approval, the company cannot be compensated for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold, which is critical for maintaining operations through June 30, 2025. The resolution is designed to be adopted after a single reading, reflecting the immediate need for action.
